Delete/Permanently hide crappy Rack Extentions

[Parameter]

Hello fellas,

I need a piece of advice from you.

Situation: My rack extension library is too cluttered(more than 150). I’m tired of scrolling through/typing in RE I need at a particular moment. I use maybe 30. The rest is crap I wish I could get rid of and never see it again.


Possible solutions Im thinking of right now:

1. Create favorite list for those 30 REs I’m using on regular basis. But the crap will stay in my library.

2. Delete crap from authorizer window. And make sure I update only REs I need. But itd be too much hassle to do it almost every day.

I wish I could simply login to my PH account and permanently delete all stuff I don’t need. But of course it doesn’t work this way.

Just please don’t tell me: Yu betta keep every piece of crap cuz yu never know which crappy rack extension will make your next world chart topping hit.

I look forward to your replies

Thanks

The favorites feature coming in R10 should help alleviate this a bit.

Would be nice though to have an option in your account to uncheck a RE from the Sync All option and have it remembered in your account.

This is the first thing about Reason 10 that actually interests me. Where can I learn more about the new Favorites feature?
Thanks.

I don't think there is much more to learn about it. They showed it in the live stream. Looks like it will work the same as favorites lists now, except with the ability to add devices. You'll be able to group devices with your other patches/refills or just make lists with devices, etc.

Big fan of ranking REs and Vsts in some way here.

I really didn't catch this feature at all... I followed the thing by my phone. Quite interesting tho...

Here's a link to the timestamp where they talk about it:

I'd like to be able to uncheck it and have it *forgotten* on my account

I would also like a checkbox for "I want my money back" (mostly for the Uhbik-A) if/when a developer abandons the platform.

This is great! Something I've wished for every time I use Reason.

If you contact Propellerhead support they can permanently remove some REs from your account if you want (they'll make you say you're sure you want to, as you'll have to buy them again if you want them back in your account!).

I did this a few years ago as I was tired of when I did a Sync All it bringing all my extensions back down again, when I'd decided against using some of them ever again. I'm assuming Props can still do something like this if you ask nicely!

Sounds good! Thank you

Certainly that would be awesome and great. Far better then telling them to delete stuff you bought from your account.

[joeyluck]

Yeah I don't think a feature to delete a license from an account is ever a good idea and something they would do. Too much room for an accident. Just being able to hide/not sync when syncing all would be good. If you're fast enough during the sync all process, you can hit cancel on the ones you don't want, but it can be pretty quick.

[sot]

an option to be able to delete yourself only the free ones you don't want any more would be nice too

...and like, maybe a inactive RE folder where you could put them until you want them, then you put them back in the RE folder ... nevermind.

A way to customize the right-click menu would be a lot more useful to me, as that's the way I usualy create devices. Dragging from the browser is a lot more work and a pain to get it in the right place in the signal chain. With right clicking, I'm sure the created device is attached to the clicked device.

I thought I heard mattias say something about a favorites or was he referring to the option in the browser for favorite patches?

Same favorites feature you are familiar with, except with R10 you can also add devices to those favorites lists

2. Delete crap from authorizer window. And make sure I update only REs I need. But itd be too much hassle to do it almost every day.

I don't get the "But itd be too much hassle to do it almost every day." part.
Why would you do it everyday?

I too delete REs from the authorizer sometimes if I know I won't be using them in the near future. But I delete them once and they are gone from my reason rack. No need to do it everyday. Am I missing something here?
It's not like REs gets an update everyday anyway and certainly not always the ones you care about.
Why not just scroll through your RE list in your account once a month or something and see if there's any update you care about?

Great idea! I wish I could do this to my phone contacts as well.

When you own 150 or more you see updates popping up almost every day.

While I simply want to “uncheck and forget”.

Honestly I didn’t notice the favorites thing in there either, but that will help a lot. The browser needs some better filtering for sure, I hope they’ll add more favorite groups in the future so you can maybe have a set of sounds you use for certain soundtracks/songs/projects, then a different set for another ongoing project etc.

Yes. Reason needs tags. Custom TAGS(Matthias and the team, hope you’ll read it) assignable to each mfcking sound. Just like ones Cubase has. But Reason will not have tags anytime soon. Why - because there is no point to help your customers if your competition may stop being friendly to you. This is an example of nowadays business logic. I understand - the office is a tough environment, go try to find a similar job in overpopulated Stockholm and sht.....But....

Tags have been existed in every kind of library for thousands of years! This is why it’s so convenient to throw in a gig of samples and call it Reason X!

Better learn ways of working from FL Studio. Every month they release a FREE 0.0.0.1 update that is worth a solid 0.5 on Propellerheads scale.

Sure, the system might not be absolutely perfect. Your suggestion is probably better. Maybe email Propellerhead your suggestion.
But honestly I don't see this as big problem.
I have around 90 REs. Just checked if there were any updates. There was one. It took a few seconds to scroll through all 90 REs. I still don't see the need to check for updates every day. Once a month is more than enough.
I probably spent more time with this comment than alone than I've done on updating my REs.

Delete the ones your not gonna use.
Make favorite device lists in R10 if needed. This is actually a good feature.
Problem solved.
